In the last episode, Present Mic and Shota Aizawa were asked to meet a villain named Kurogiri in Tartarus, a high-security prison.

Present Mic and Aizawa met with Gran Torino at the prison and asked him about Nomu and Kurogiri.

They found out Kurogiri was a Nomu, a bio-engineered creature made from the corpse of a being. He was made using the corpse of Oboro Shirakumo. Kurogiri's primary objective was to protect and serve Shigaraki under All For One's command.
